I honestly don't know what the big deal is about skype. The fact that

you still have to have your PC on makes it a bit of an annoyance to me.

My personal preference is the SIP based VOIP's. You can now get

hardware that you can plug into your router which can be configured via

http access to allow your normal analogue phone to work via the ADSL

connection.

To me this sounds better (well for residential use)

It would allow you to dial in to any system with only broadband

available to you instead of requiring a phone line. Handy if you are

out and about trying to get onto servers etc.
